    Is there something special about an audio jack that USB-C can’t do? And my past experience with SD cards has been consistently poor; prone to corruption and slow-ass writes.

      You can use your headphones without carrying around another adapter.

      Get better SD cards?

      In addition to what others have mentioned, you also can’t use USBC adapter for the headphones and charge it the same time, without getting another weird, likely flaky, and definitely more bulky adapter.

      Slow writes are generally true, I suspect for similar reasons that most usb sticks suck: trade off between price, capacity, longevity, and thermals. I’ve used a 1TB sd card for years withoutany issues, but now have everything on a NAS instead, so the slot sits unused.

      USB-C audio isn’t simple. Does the phone have built in DAC with usb pass through (most dont or its poor quality), or do you need usb DAC? Also, not all usb DACs will work on every device.
